Joyce Bean · Answer 1

Answer: Option E) is mainly a consequence of blood pressure in the capillaries of the glomerulus.

Explanation:

The nutrients-rich blood is enters the glomerulus of the kidney by renal artery. As it circulates through the capillaries of the glomerulus the blood pressure in the capillaries of the glomerulus forces water, urea, nitrogenous compounds, glucose etc to be filtered into the bowman's capsule.

This process of filtering materials from the glomerulus into the bowman's capsule is called ultra filtration
